KELLY GAGALIS About Kelly Gagalis I have been a dating coach for over 15 years. A few years ago, I realized that my clients don't have the same horror stories as other people I talk to do because I bake safety into their dating training. A year ago, in the same 24-hour period I heard from two friends that their children had just experienced horrific sexual assault... gang rape on a young gay man naively picking up someone for a 1st date on tinder and the rape of my friend's daughter hosting a dinner on a second date while my friend was in the house. In both instances when I heard the circumstances, I KNEW that these horrible assaults could have been prevented if these young people had only had the skills and tools, I teach to date safely online.
